You are actually the first to ask. Why do you need a customized DOS
distribution? The DOS distribution is really an afterthought, it is
not supported or documented. Anyway, the initrd.img is just a gzip
compressed minix filesystem, you can replace the tomsrtbt.raw file in
it with the one you built in buildit.s by un-gzipping it to a block
device, mounting it, replace tomsrtbt.raw, and re-gzip initrd.img.
Let me know what the scenario is for which you want this, there may
be a better way. Also let me know if you get stuck.

SCSI cdroms do not need a module.

That sounds like a termination problem or something. Um, st0 is a tape
device, sr0 is the cdrom. If you see the above message, all the pieces
are in place. You may have a hardware problem. Was there a good CDROM in
the drive? Try a different CDROM. The syntax for mounting should be,
roughly,
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/sr0 /cdrom
Also, send me the output of "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and "cat /proc/modules".
What scsi adapter are you using?
